Michel,
built and tested octave and gui on cygwin with latest tip.
No build issues.

Running the GUI, I see :

- "undecodable token: \001b(hex)[?1034h" is present

- the prompt is correctly located in the gui.
  Defining HAVE_OPENPTY was the solution in my case, but I expect
  different systems could have different requirement for the pty
  characteristics.

The two defines are in:
$ find . -iname "*.pro" -exec grep  -H HAVE_OPENPTY \{\} \;
./qterminal/libqterminal/libqterminal.pro:
    DEFINES       += HAVE_POSIX_OPENPT HAVE_PTY_H HAVE_OPENPTY
./qterminal/qterminal/qterminal.pro:
    DEFINES += HAVE_PTY_H HAVE_OPENPTY

No idea how to perform a functionality test on qmake.
